Rubicon take offs are always floating around craigslist, as well as the forum. They are in 255/75/17 and are a pretty decent tire from my understanding.

Absolutely. The Rubi/Willys tire is very good off-road, very good wearing on road if you rotate each oil change, makes a steady mild hum but is not terribly loud, looks great and generally is a fantastic tire that is a sad shame that it isn't made in 35" and 37" sizes.

You can often get sets of 5 with wheels as extremely low mile take-offs for around $600 on the lowest end I've seen - to about $1200 at the highest end I've seen on Craigslist/Forums.

I have a set on my 2014 Willys with 13,000 miles on them, and I would guestimate them at around 75% remaining. These things can last 40-60K miles pretty reliably if rotated and cared for.

I would love a set of this tread pattern in 37x12.50! Instead, I'll be going to the Cooper STT Pro, another tire you should consider.

I'm on my second set of the stock mud terrains and I've got to say that I like them very much as well. Good on road. Awesome offroad and relatively inexpensive
